Nolathane or Rubber for DRB ?

[peter de]

Thanks for the replies

I am going to use rubber at pivot points.With the sunbird front subframe being solid mounted, rather than mounted on rubber insulators and the steering rack also being solid mounted(no rubber bushes at all), I feel that nolathane would transmit to much vibration through the pivot points into the steering wheel and car for road use.I will use nolathane for the sway bars however, because these will be isolated from road related vibration through the rubber at pivot points, but the firmer bushes will help the swaybars to react more 'instantly' in cornering situations.

As far as the rear suspension goes, I have plans to make some modifications which will/should be the subject of another thread.
